15 Market potentials for wood energy Sources forest wood represents of 50.1% of wood raw material. plus undefined 33.8% private ownership, plus illegal logging, plus wood residues, forest wood is app 91% in the total wood and wood biomass sources wood residues from wood processing industry is 8.0% of total including 1.5% (bark from sawmills) and 6.5% of regular sources Requirement 2/3 are household requirements (primarily for fuelwood), sawmill processing 16.3%, wood-based board production 12.3%, wood fuel producers (pellets, briquettes, and charcoal) 0.4%, expect growth of their share around 1% in the total requirements, sawmill wood processing company 1.3 million m 3.

16 Forest residues Based on performed calculations, it is estimated that the available amount of forest wood residue is 572 thousand m 3 annually; Concerning private forests, estimation is 270 thousand m 3 of forest residues should be available

17 Consumption of wood based energy from private forests Consumption of wood based energy-generating products in households in Serbia in 2008, with emphasize on private forests: Type of energy generating product Measurement unit Used amounts Heating power (toe)/msrmt unit Total amount of energy in Mtoe Firewood Stacked m Firewood - private forests - Stacked m 3 5,072, (63%) Wood briquettes ton Wood pellets ton Charcoal ton TOTAL 1.17

18 Consumption of wood based energy in households Consumption of final energy in Serbia in 2008 was Mtoe, the participation of energy obtained from wood based energy-generating products was 13.7%. Regarding the fact that the total amount of consumed wood based energy in 2008, was 1.17 Mtoe, the contribution of wood based energy from private forests into decrease of Serbian import dependence only on natural gas was million US$.

22 Project basics in Serbia Title: TCP/YUG/ Wood energy for sustainable rural development Duration: Januar 2009-September 2010 Recipient: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of Serbia-Forest Directorate Lead Technical Officer: Dr Miguel Trossero (FAO) National Project Coordinator: Dusan Jovic, Dipl. Ing. (MAFWM-DoF) Special Project Advisor: Prof. Dr. Branko Glavonjic (FoF) Budget: US$ 300,000

23 PROJECT MAIN AIM The overall objective of the project is to enhance the capabilities of the Directorate of Forests (DF), Ministry of Agricultural, Forestry and Water Management, for the formulation, evaluation and development of sound bioenergy strategies, programmes and projects compatible with the sustainable management of the forestry, energy and agricultural sectors. Specific Objectives Knowledge & understanding on wood energy systems Capacity building activities (knowledge dissemination) National wood energy action plan developed

24 CONCLUSION Important role of private forests in woody biomass issue, Question of sustainability in private forests, or lack of accurate data, Support process of establishing associations of the PFO to tackle small plots, Open the contribution of PFO for supplying large/district heating systems with forest residues, Initiate public-private-partnerships (PPP) in woody biomass issues, Forest certification, illegal activities Results from TCP/FAO project show bigger role and significance of woody biomass in energy balance of Serbia than all forecasts and estimations made so far, Continue with promotion of woody biomass issues and induce more active participation of PFO, Produce better picture on the significance and role of woody biomass from private forests in energy balance of Serbia.
